The Commissioners' Plan of 1811 was the original design plan for the streets of Manhattan, which put in place the grid plan that has defined Manhattan to this day. It has been called "the single most important document in New York City's development,"

In 1853, Central Park was laid out between 59th and 110th Streets and Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenues.

John Randel's survey bolt marked the location of Sixth Avenue and 65th Street; the location later became part of Central Park.

While there is a great deal of the highly cultivated graffiti seen in yesterdays posts, many examples still survive in the wild on the lower eastside.

The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79.

Seen on 6th avenue near Canal street but not for long as this wall is near demolition, we enjoy it while we can. Art in NYC can be ephemeral.
